My smartphone, by a mile. It's a computer that's as powerful as desktop PCs from just a few years ago, yet is no larger than a makeup compact and slips in and out of my pocket with ease. It's got a screen that's better than my living room HDTV. And it has an almost magical always-on internet connection that gives me…

Well, the other thing no one says is that just because you regret not having children doesn't mean you should have had children. I am ambivalent about having children and people who (for some reason) want me to have them always threaten me with "regret." I'm always asked, "What if you regret not having them?" The…

He's just a big ol' kitty. Look at this cocksucker right here. That's a good fucking kitty.

I absolutely don't condone what this woman did, but I do wonder, she must've been stressed beyond belief. Women are often left to undertake caretaking duties, and I think this is an extreme case where she simply couldn't take it anymore. If the American healthcare system was better and provided home care at an…

I love reading Miss Manners on the subject. "Should I tell my friend she's fat?" "Why? Do you think she hasn't noticed?" If you see something wrong with someone's appearance, the rule is that you can mention it only if the person can immediately fix the problem. Since no one is going to step into another room and…

Gallows humor is the specialty in our household.

*pops open a fresh can of worms*

I get sarcastic humor just fine guys, thanks. I think it should be applied to people who deserve it. I guess my problem is I don't see someone's ovaries as a jumping off point for cutting humor.

Anyone who complains that Gawker sites are too progressive and that their commenters are nothing by social justice warriors would do well to see misogynistic threads like this.

My dream job is to be a cab driver. Everyone thinks I'm joking, but I'm not. I may leave my cushy corporate job to do this.

The first female cab driver I ever had was in Pittsburgh for a trip to the airport. The cab was clean, smelled nice, had a box of tissues affixed to the back of the front seat, mellow bluesy music playing, pictures of two adorable boys up, and the woman who drove me was an absolute doll. I'd been trying to get the…

Experiences my friends and I have had in recent years has made me realize how absurd it is that the "safest" way for a drunk woman to get home at the end of the night is getting in a vehicle with a strange man. I would LOVE to take lady-driven cabs.

HELL to the NO. Anyone but Ken Burns. ANYONE.

True love is real and this is the most beautiful thing in the world! These ladies have been together since they were 18- and 19-year-old lesbians in the Midwest in the '40s! Can you even imagine how cool they would be to hang out with? I would be starstruck if I ever met them.

Not democrats, black* democrats. They literally robbed their people blind. They robbed the fucking schools! There are two generations of (functionally) illiterate Detroiters because DPS was robbed blind by the city's black "elite".

Well, it's not 'classest' to observe that. Many of the red states with poorer education standards are also deeply economically deprived states. They're the poorest of the poor states so their education coffers are pretty much empty. Even if they wanted to improve educational standards, there's nothing to work with. It…

Detroit's Under-Funded Fire Departments Use a Soda Can For a Fire Alarm

So an employer ignores workplace sexual harrassment to the point where workers are forced to blow the whistle in public, and then said employer FIRES the whistleblowing workers less than a month later? This is straight up illegal. I hope Gawker gets it's ass sued off.

You probably didn't actually read the article did you?
